Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
Then think of it like a venn diagram. Automatic pistols are handguns, that fire handgun caliber rounds. Sub-Machineguns are carbine sized weapons that fire handgun caliber rounds. Some weird models are in between those standards. However my general rule of thumb is unless it's a handgun modified to fire at a fully automatic rate like that Glock 18 above, it's a submachine gun.
So this MAC-10 and Mico Uzi are both submachine guns
and this Beretta 93R
Is a pistol.
Personally I avoid the term machine pistol just because it can be confused with German terminology for a submachine gun.

Method of Madness:
Yes, even if it is too late.

Yesterday I cleaned a Browning M2 HB .50 caliber machine gun that was stamped as being manufactured by the AC Spark Plug Division of General Motors. Looked into things a little further, and it turns out what that means is that particular machine gun was manufactured during WWII. Makes me wonder if there's some way to trace serial numbers and get some sort of timeline on the weapon's life, where it's been, etc. History like that fascinates me.
Method of Madness:
Reminds me of the life of a bullet video in the beginning of Lord of War.
